Answer 2

Some Software can not remove the virus it can only Quarentine the file. If this is the case...No worries. it will not cause problems. make sure that tou have a virus protection program and keep it Up to date.
Protect first then you don't need to fix. I get paid to fix and it is expensive.

Answer 3

Most Trojans and invasive viruses can't be removed if you are online. Disconnect from the internet then run your Antivirus. That rule goes for the Spywares as well.
